r/corsets

I usually DIY the majority of my clothing, but this I cannot do. I’m worried about getting a corset that could harm me, so I’d like one from a reputable brand and one that won’t tarnish easily. Im looking for a corset under $100 or just above $100, and it would be amazing if it was under $60 but I don’t really expect that. I’d prefer PVC but I’m open to any shiny, latex-like material. Also, I’m open to second hand options. I have a preference for underbust corsets but overbust is fine as long as they’re bigger chest friendly. I appreciate any and all help!

Hi! I'm making a bridal corset and was wondering if there are any methods for getting a clean top and bottom edge without any bias binding or binding tape at all. I dislike how it looks and breaks the seamless silhouette I am going for. I am not afraid of learning new or historical techniques as I often attempt to include a variety of techniques in my designs. Any tips are appreciated!

Thanks.

Hi there! I’m hoping some of you could help point me in the right direction. I’m sick of bras. The list of why is long so to save time I won’t get on my soap box lol.

I’m a plus size woman and want to start using functional overbust corsets (stays? Idk. With or without straps is fine) as part of my underwear. I dont want something that’s for show, so it can be a neutral or plain color without any frills or adornments. I’m hoping to find something similar in function to what women wore under their clothes several decades (hell, even centuries!) ago that helps shape them and hold everything in place, including the bust. I’d prefer to order something already made but am willing to spend money on something custom to my measurements if I must. I’d love if I could find something that can help hide/accommodate an apron belly too. Where might I find mid to high quality corsets that meet my criteria? If you don’t think it’s possible feel free to be honest! I know what I’m asking for may not even really exist.

I’ve done some research online but it seems most of the corsets available are more decorative than fully functional undergarments. I figured I’d get good advice and better answers if I asked the experts here!

is the natrual waist size on the measurements the max or what would work for beginning of your wear?

For context im 33inches on my waist and i looked into a size 26 Hourglass Silhouette corset wich saids its a 32inch natrual waist and all the other measurements are perfect would it cap out at that or can it go slightly shorter to like 28-30?

I have been dealing with tension migraines due to poor posture. I have been in the process of correcting this, but there are still bad days. I am terrified to wear my sports bras and honestly I hate all sports bras I've ever had because they are tight, and with the tension migraines, just cause more pain. Apparently, having a tight elastic band holding up ten pound girls from the shoulders does that.

I want to start kickboxing. I loved it in the past, but since a million life changes and the tensions migraines, I haven't done it. Now that I am getting it managed, I want to start again, but would prefer to do it without the sports bras. Is there a way to exercise with a corset simply to keep the girls in place without the pressure on my shoulders and risk of triggering a migraine?
